Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Currently, that is the situation. However, the THREDDS Data Server does provide the ability to aggregate a homogeneous set of datasets into a single dataset. There are a limited set of aggregation types but the type of aggregation you describe above should work.Hi Ethan, thanks for the reply, and hope your feeling better. Sorry for sending to you, and thanks for pointing to this support email. I had a hard time describing my problem, but your response helped. I'm not sure if the ETA file has multiple times in the file (can't check just now). But here's what I understand: I do know that I have individual radar files, that represent one unique time (no time field in the netcdf). So I if have a directory, with a bunch of radar files, one for each individual time (say every 10 minutes), then idv cannot generate multiple "times available". files just have DIM(x,y) RadarFile_20060718_00.nc RadarFile_20060718_10.nc RadarFile_20060718_20.nc
There is more on TDS aggregation at http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/NcML.htm
I guess it depends on how you are getting your data as to how you might want to proceed. Probably the easiest solution would be to stick with your current setup and use the TDS aggregation.So I'd need to somehow concat thess files into a single netcdf file, but with a time dimension; now with DIM(x,y,t) or something of the sort: RadarFile_20060718.nc (which perhaps held times 00,10, and 20) after awhile, a new file, RadarFile_20060718.nc, would arrive but with times 30, 40, 50. and this would be the "latest" file.
Hope this helps, Ethan
Thanks for your help, David
